Best Apps to Manage Blood Sugar

With everyone going high-tech these days, it seems almost intuitive that our blood sugar management would make its way to a screen (remember the days of pen and paper logbooks?!). Measuring and tracking your blood sugar is easier than ever with the help of apps, right on your smartphone. Here are our top picks to get you cruising into a lower HbA1c in no time:

This app helps you track your insulin and carb intake, as well as integrating data from most continuous glucose monitors, glucometers, or even your insulin pump! Track your progress over time with the charting feature, to track which foods affect your blood sugar in different ways. The app lets you share your data with your healthcare team, to work on your goals together.

This app has it all–the ability to track not only blood sugar, but A1c, ketones, cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. The app has the ability to share your data (and progress!) with others, to make goal-setting easier. It also comes with reminders you can set to remember to take your meds or to work out, if that’s helpful. This app is free.

MySugr is a user-friendly tool that helps to sync your numbers that you may already be tracking, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, step count, weight, basal rates, HbA1c, and more. The app can also estimate your next HbA1c, so there’s no shock when you head into the doctor’s office.

This is a very basic, easy to use, blood sugar logging app. You can enter your blood sugar, along with food eaten, medication taken, and activity done, and the app creates graphs and reports to track your progress. The app has the ability to sync with My Diet Diary Calorie Counter (made by the same developer) to make food tracking even easier.

In this app, you can record blood sugars, meals, insulin, and activity. This free, easy-to-use app can be streamlined, so if there are features you don’t like (or won’t use), you can disable them to only access exactly what you need. It creates reports and graphs to track progress.
